Should coach be fired for this

Because you have no evidence of such a thing, as such its just a figment of your imagination.

So, there are some minorities that are more deserving of equal protection than others? That has potential to work out very badly in the long run.

Christians are a minority?

Barbie is literally* crucified every day on the altar of the patriarchy and unrealistic male expectation. She doesn't even have any private parts. Or nipples.

*in the sense of metaphorically literally.


Or literally metaphorically.

Jesus, even scientist has to imagine things. There is nothing wrong here. To pressume that our inteligence has an intelligent source is more rational explanation then that it got farted into existence by nothing. Its the nature of this inteligent infinite which you can rightly question...

She is rather being worshiped...
 
Well, that's a strange use of the word "worship" there: cut off your private bits and nipples, and dress you up in bizarre costumes.

Barbie wasnt crucified neither had anything cut off. Please dont try to make martyr out of it. Its already cult enough.

Well that would be akin to racism. This is mocking religion and that is far less serious imo. I think this is more like crucifying Karl Marx if you won against a group of communists. Tasteless, but not very serious.

I think you could argue that there's an ethnoreligious dimension to it. Most Americans are Protestants of an historically austere bent, who traditionally see the depictions of Christ on the cross displayed by Catholics as idolatrous, preferring instead an abstract cruciform shape. So I think this should be understood not as a secular mockery of Christianity, but as a Protestant mockery of Catholicism, which is to say a majority mocking of a minority and traditionally "ethnic" religion. (Consider, if there was no Barbie, just the cross, it wouldn't read as mockery but as a slightly awkward expression of Christian thankfulness.) I'm not saying that this was concious, I don't imagine that the photo was followed by them all singing the Famine Song, but I think there's an undercurrent of cultural chauvinism that is genuinely worthy of criticism.

Woodstock is apparently in the Chicago commuter belt, so I'm not imagining that this is some stereotypical Deep Southern town where people still believe that Catholic bishops are trying to overthrow the US government, but it seems to still be enough of a small, Midwestern town that traditional antipathies toward the ethnicky Catholics might still be swirling around in the culture.

She was so. There's a picture of her being crucified in the OP. And metaphorically she's crucified everyday by all the little girls who play with her, dressing her up to conform with gender stereotypes.

And she did most assuredly have her nipples cut off. Originally she had them. Now she doesn't. That speaks of mutilation to me more than anything.

I don't know much about her private parts. But rumour has it she doesn't have any. Which must mean some severe bladder problems, if nothing else.

So is it really a patriarchy thing?
 
That guy has some serious musculo-skeletal problems. I'm surprised he's still living. Never mind his reproductive capabilities, or lack thereof.
 
He needs to be flexible so that he can manipulate weapons and kill the enemy. Boys don't seem to have positive toy influences either.
 
Bollocks, I had a Captain Planet toy when I was a kid, and thanks to his positive influence, I regularly wear red spandex and a mullet.

The whole "saving the environment" thing, not as much, but there are only so many lessons a kid can absorb.

Does that mesh well with your neckbeard and fedoratribly?

Ha, CP and the Planeteers' boss was a woman. What a joke. Real men don't take orders from ladies.
